June 10, 2016 (Washington, DC) – Congressman Don Beyer released the following statement on his vote against the H.Con.Res. 89, which expresses the sense of Congress that a carbon tax is detrimental to the United States economy:

“Implemented properly, a price on carbon would help “internalize” the cost of carbon-intensive activities, reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, and drive innovation and corresponding job-creation. Further, if the carbon pricing took the form of a cap and dividend, the revenue generated from the carbon pricing could be returned directly to working families.

“On the minority side, we are ready to find solutions. If a carbon tax is something the majority simply cannot stomach, then surely there is common ground elsewhere for meaningful action.

“We must stop backward-looking climate resolutions and focus on what we can do to meet perhaps the biggest challenge of our time.”
